- Guide ERP Readiness and Advisory: Conduct assessments, develop roadmaps, and advise clients on ERP-related decisions within broader transformation efforts.
- Shape Client Strategy: Collaborate with executives to define vision, evaluate options, and align technology investments with mission outcomes.
- Facilitate Stakeholder Alignment: Lead workshops, interviews, and executive briefings to surface priorities and build consensus.
- Collaborate Across Practices: Partner with delivery teams in ERP implementation, modernization, and analytics to ensure strategic coherence.
- Contribute to Practice Growth: Support methodology development, thought leadership, and internal capability building.
Required Skills
- 6–10 years of experience in strategy consulting, with exposure to ERP-related projects (e.g., readiness, selection, transformation).
- Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations.
- Knowledge of and strategic experience with Workday or Oracle and demonstrated projects in at least one functional area (finance, HCM, etc.).
- Experience working with mission-driven organizations (higher ed, nonprofit, public sector) preferred.
- Ability to lead client engagements independently and collaboratively.
- Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or certifications (e.g., PMP, Prosci, ERP-specific) a plus.
